Wow, this thread was taken in a dark direction.
Perhaps we should ask the novelists for stories that focus less on Shar, Cyric, Gruumsh, and world-ending murky plots.
I highly doubt we've seen the last of cataclysmic and gritty storylines, though.
I agree with Wooly, this has gotten way off topic. But I'm sure there would be a lively debate if you wanted to start a new thread on this topic. |

To be fair, for about 4 years now there haven't really been any discussions that have been actually new. |
"The very best possible post-fourteenth-century Realms lets down those who love the specific, detailed social, political and magical situation, with its thousands of characters, developed over forty years, and want to learn more about it; and those who'd be open to a new one with equal depth, which there just isn't time to re-produce; and those repelled, some past the point of no return, by the bad-taste-and-plausibility gap of things done to the world when its guardianship was less careful."

I really need to reread the book, I didn't even realize they had slept together, I did notice they were romantically involved.

That shouldn't stop you from making posts. If you feel the need to debate a subject then make a thread for it. But you can't hijack a thread for your soapbox.

Just shut this poop down, tired of my own thread already. Got hijacked by a moron that had nothing to do with my topic at all. Talking about going against my will.
Mod edit: Language, please. |

LOL seriously? Aren't you the person who directly asked for additional clarification on the tangent in your own thread? Yeah, you were.
Mod edit: Made same modification to remove profanity from quoted part. |

I'll agree that this thread has gone off-topic, but that is no reason for direct personal attacks like that, which are explicitly forbidden in the Code of Conduct.  |

| It was written in the 2. ed AD&D Underdark book ghaunadaur lost most position and almost vanished due to turning most of his followers, slimes and jellies, into unthinking Creatures. That could mean to some degree 2. ed used same rule as 3. and 3.5 , just not 100% |

Depending on the topic, there are some relatively fresh discussions, and depending on things that WotC has done.
I haven't read this Denning book (I am not a huge novel reader, being a game material enthusiast), but it sounds rather bizarre. Admittedly, giant god-involved plots are a bit stale for me, so I'm not sure I'd be inclined to read it to begin with.
